LIFE IN THE MINOR LEAGUES
well, it's life in the minor leagues
we get beer in the locker room for free
but we pay our own rent
and we pay our own dues
and we learn how to laugh
while we learn how to lose
in extra innings

but we ain't a bad ticket for the price
the view from the cheap seats is pretty nice
you're sitting closer to the action
where the game's the main attraction
it sure ain't money or fame
and the guys on the team
they sure are glad you came

and if it's true that the umpire is blind
then I must admit I've seen it from his side
he gets some close calls sliding in
and everybody wants to win
but the excuses are useless
and the wheel keeps spinning
while you're sinning

and we learn how to laugh
while we learn how to lose
while we learn how to laugh
while we learn how to lose
in extra innings

it's a funny kind of way to be blessed
but now I'm getting used to it I guess
come out and watch us work tonight
we'll put on a show alright
and you just might see some plays
that belong in the big time

big big time
hey that's just life in the minor leagues
I'm dead focused on my game
hey that's just life
